Abstract
Association rule mining is one of the imperative errands in data mining. The undertaking to locate the frequent patterns is assuming a fundamental part in mining associations and numerous other intriguing highlights among the factors in the transactional database. In any case, this assignment is computationally escalated and utilizes a significant extensive measure of memory. There are numerous components that include the working of a frequent pattern mining algorithm. One of the variables that have a noteworthy impact is the attributes of the database being examined. The well known algorithm works distinctively on inadequate and thick database. Two algorithms are being connected to the database as indicated by the data attributes of the dataset. FEM(FP-Tree and Eclat Method) utilizes a settled edge as an exchanging condition between the two mining techniques while DFEM(Dynamic FP-Tree and Eclat Method) applies an edge dynamically at runtime to efficiently fit the qualities of the database amid the mining procedure.

Algorithmic Framework for Frequent Pattern Mining with FP-Tree
Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems, 2014
The FP-tree algorithm is currently one of the fastest approaches to frequent item set mining. Studies have also shown that pattern-growth method is one of the most efficient methods for frequent pattern mining. It is based on a prefix tree representation of the given database of transactions (FP-tree) and can save substantial amounts of memory for storing the database. The basic idea of the FP-growth algorithm can be described as a recursive elimination scheme which is usually achieved in the preprocessing step by deleting all items from the transactions that are not frequent. In this study, a simple framework for mining frequent pattern is presented with FP-tree structure which is an extended prefix-tree structure for mining frequent pattern without candidate generation, and less cost for better understanding of the concept for inexperienced data analysts and other organizations interested in association rule mining.

An Improved Frequent Pattern Tree Based Association Rule Mining Technique
2011 International Conference on Information Science and Applications, 2011
Discovery of association rules among the large number of item sets is considered as an important aspect of data mining. The ever increasing demand of finding pattern from large data enhances the association rule mining. Researchers developed a lot of algorithms and techniques for determining association rules. The main problem is the generation of candidate set. Among the existing techniques, the frequent pattern growth (FP-growth) method is the most efficient and scalable approach. It mines the frequent item set without candidate set generation. The main obstacle of FP growth is, it generates a massive number of conditional FP tree. In this research paper, we proposed a new and improved FP tree with a table and a new algorithm for mining association rules. This algorithm mines all possible frequent item set without generating the conditional FP tree. It also provides the frequency of frequent items, which is used to estimate the desired association rules.

An Improvised Frequent Pattern Tree Based Association Rule Mining Technique with Mining Frequent Item Sets Algorithm and a Modified Header Table
2015
In today's world there is a wide availability of huge amount of data and thus there is a need for turning this data into useful information which is referred to as knowledge. This demand for knowledge discovery process has led to the development of many algorithms used to determine the association rules. One of the major problems faced by these algorithms is generation of candidate sets. The FP-Tree algorithm is one of the most preferred algorithms for association rule mining because it gives association rules without generating candidate sets. But in the process of doing so, it generates many CP-trees which decreases its efficiency. In this research paper, an improvised FP-tree algorithm with a modified header table, along with a spare table and the MFI algorithm for association rule mining is proposed. This algorithm generates frequent item sets without using candidate sets and CP-trees.

2015
Data mining has many aspects like clustering, classification, anomaly detection, association rule mining etc. Among such data mining tools, association rule mining has gained a lot of interest among the researchers. Some applications of association mining include analysis of stock database, mining of the web data, diagnosis in medical domain and analysis of customer behaviour. In past, many algorithms were developed by researchers for mining frequent itemsets but the problem is that it generates candidate itemsets. So, to overcome it tree based approach for mining frequent patterns were developed that performs the mining operation by constructing tree with item on its node that eliminates the disadvantage of most of the algorithms. The paper tries to address the problem of finding frequent itemset by determining the infrequent itemsets in a transaction which would reduce the computation time.

Mining Frequent Patterns Based on Data Characteristics
Frequent pattern mining is crucial part of association rule mining and other data mining tasks with many practical applications. Current popular algorithms for frequent pattern mining perform differently: some are good for dense databases while the others are ideal for sparse ones. In our previous research, we developed a new frequent pattern mining algorithm named FEM that runs fast on both sparse and dense databases. FEM combines the mining strategies of FP-growth and Eclat and given a user-specified threshold it adapts its mining behaviors to the data characteristics to efficiently find all short and long patterns from different database types. However, for best performance of FEM, an appropriate threshold value used to control the switching between its two mining tasks need to be selected by the user. In this paper, we present DFEM, an improved algorithm of FEM that automatically adopts a runtime dynamic threshold to better fit to the characteristics of the databases. The experi...
A Survey on FP-Tree Based Incremental Frequent Pattern Mining
Learning and Analytics in Intelligent Systems, 2020
Several methods for efficient mining of frequent patterns (FP) can be found in literature. But most of the approaches assume that the whole dataset to be considered can be stored on the computers on hand main memory and the dataset is static in nature. Practically, none of the transactional datasets are static. The datasets get updated due to inclusion of new transactions or exclusion of obsolete transactions as the time advances or the user may required to generate the frequent patterns for a new threshold value for the updated database. This may generate new frequent patterns or refinement of existing patterns and it becomes practically infeasible if the process starts from scratch. Many methods have been found in literature tried to deal with the issues of incremental frequent pattern mining (FPM) but most of the algorithms are main memory dependent. Therefore in this paper, we are going to discuss some of the algorithms with their pros and cons to see whether the main memory limitation of the existing techniques can be mitigated so that it can be efficiently used in incremental scenario.

A Framework to Discover Association Rules Using Frequent Pattern Mining
Mining association rule is one of the key problems in data mining approach. Association rules discover the hidden relationships between various data items. In this paper, we propose a framework for the discovery of association rules using frequent pattern mining. We use preprocessing to transform the transaction dataset into a 2D matrix of 1's and 0's. Mining association rule must firstly discover frequent itemsets and then generate strong association rules from the frequent itemsets. The Apriori algorithm is the most well known association rule mining algorithm and is less efficient because they need to scan the database many times and store transaction ID in memory, so time and space overhead is very high. Especially they are less efficient when they process large scale database. Here we propose improved Apriori algorithm by including prune step and hash map data structure. The improved algorithm is more suitable for large scale database. Experimental results shows that computation times are reduced by using the prune step and hash map data structure.
An Implementation of Frequent Pattern Mining Algorithm using Dynamic Function
International Journal of Computer Applications, 2010
An Important Problem in Data Mining in Various Fields like Medicine, Telecommunications and World Wide Web is Discovering Patterns. Frequent patterns mining is the focused research topic in association rule analysis. Apriori algorithm is a classical algorithm of association rule mining. Lots of algorithms for mining association rules and their mutations are proposed on basis of Apriori Algorithm. Most of the previous studies adopt Apriori-like algorithms which generate-and-test candidates and improving algorithm strategy and structure but no one concentrate on the structure of database. A simple approach is if we implement in Transposed database then result is very fast. Recently, different works proposed a new way to mine patterns in transposed databases where a database with thousands of attributes but only tens of objects. In this case, mining the transposed database runs through a smaller search space. In this paper, we systematically explore the search space of frequent patterns mining and represent database in transposed form. We developed an algorithm (termed DFPMT-A Dynamic Approach for Frequent Patterns Mining Using Transposition of Database) for mining frequent patterns which are based on Apriori algorithm and used Dynamic function for Longest Common Subsequence [1]. The main distinguishing factors among the proposed schemes is the database stores in transposed form and in each iteration database is filter /reduce by generating LCS of transaction id for each pattern. Our solutions provide faster result. A quantitative exploration of these tradeoffs is conducted through an extensive experimental study on synthetic and real-life data sets.

An Improved FP-Tree Algorithm with Relationship Technique for Refined Result of Association Rule Mining
Construction and development of classifier that works with more accuracy and performs efficiently for large database is one of the key tasks of data mining techniques. Secondly training dataset repeatedly produces massive amount of rules. It's very tough to store, retrieve, prune, and sort a huge number of rules proficiently before applying to a classifier. In such situation FP is the best choice but problem with this approach is that it generates redundant FP Tree. A Frequent pattern tree (FP-tree) is type of prefix tree that allows the detection of recurrent (frequent) item set exclusive of the candidate item set generation. It is anticipated to recuperate the flaw of existing mining methods. FP – Trees pursues the divide and conquers tactic. In this thesis we have adapt the same idea for identifying frequent item set with large database. For this we have integrated a positive and negative rule mining concept with frequent pattern algorithm and correlation approach is used to refine the association rule and give a relevant association rules for our goal. Our method performs well and produces unique rules without ambiguity.
KSD an Efficient Algorithm for Association Rule Mining
Abstract — Data mining is an emerging field that comprises of various functions like classification, association rule mining, clustering, and outlier analysis. Association rule mining is a major, interesting and extremely studied function of data mining. Association rule mining identifies the correlation between different itemsets and find frequent and interesting rules. Frequent itemset mining is very common first step in considering datasets through wide range of applications. There have been proposed some methods in literature which scan database twice or more times to find approximate frequent patterns and frequent itemsets. Scanning database again and again makes mining process tedious and slow. The traditional approaches needs that every item in itemset happens in each supporting transaction. Yet the actual data has noise (meaningless data) and in existence of a noise, outdated itemset mining procedures might not be able to identify related frequent itemset(s). We have proposed a method in this paper that solved above mentioned problems. It scans database only once and makes mining fast and efficient. Our proposed method used technique named Fault Tolerance to handle noisy data and replaced database with a tree like structure. We are unaware of any technique yet introduced that can find approximate frequent itemset with only one scan of database. Further, our proposed method has an advantage on traditional Apriori and frequent pattern (FP) Tree) method as for as scanning and infrequent candidate generation are concerned.
